Straight after the meeting of the Congress Steering Committee, there is one for the Internal Governance Committee. Our job is to think what to do about exams and courses which are not making as much money as we’d hoped. In fact they are making negative amounts of money. Mr Davies does not like negative amounts of money, and neither does the Internal Governance Committee. Negative amounts of money are not polite. The litigation skills course is being particularly impolite. Apparently there are not enough CIPA members who want litigation skills so badly that they are prepared to pay to undergo extensive study and examination ordeals. This in turn has something to do with the fact that failing to do a litigation skills course does not actually seem to result in any sanction, other than the terrible ignominy of being litigationally unskilled. Not everyone wants to shell out large amounts of money to be trained in a skill they don’t intend to exercise, absent a sufficiently catastrophic alternative such as for instance being banned from drafting pernickety documents for a living.
